"A very simple estimate of adhesion of hard solids with rough surfaces based on a bearing area model" is in press in Meccanica, can be viewed at http://rdcu.be/s0lV Abstract In the present note, we suggest a single-line equation estimate for adhesion between elastic(hard) rough solids with Gaussian multiple scales of roughness.

Fringe Instability in Constrained Soft Elastic Layers

adhesion

Soft elastic layers with top and bottom surfaces adhered to rigid bodies are abundant in biological organisms and engineering applications. As the rigid bodies are pulled apart, the stressed layer can exhibit various modes of mechanical instabilities. In cases where the layer’s thickness is much smaller than its length and width, the dominant modes that have been studied are the cavitation, interfacial and fingering instabilities. Here we report a new mode of instability which emerges if the thickness of the constrained elastic layer is comparable to or smaller than its width.

wet adhesion between two soft layers

soft materials

Two solids can adhere to each other in the presence of a liquid bridge between them, which is called wet adhesion. When the solid is soft, the liquid bridge can cause deformation in the material, and in turn, the deformation may have dramatic effects on the wet adhesion. To investigate the effect, in this article, we calculate the deformation in two soft layers with different separations and connected by a liquid bridge. We illustrate the effect of deformation in the soft layers on the adhesive force.
